mdvpc - I have Heinz VF seed that I am growing next year. Have you grown it?
I have not. I show that I got the seeds from Victory on 7/17/2007 so I need to grow them next year too ... if I can find them
Mischka - PM me your address and I'll be happy to send you some Heinz 1370. It's one of my favorite canners.
Shoot, can't beat that ... Thanks!
carolyn137 - There are some others listed in the SSE YEarbook if you're an SSE member, ones that you don't have:
1370
1548 VF
2653
.......just in case you're a Heinz collector.
And if you want to branch out there are nine Campbell accessions also listed.
I had those ( Heinz) listed to request but never did. I did get the ones ( Heinz/Campbell) SSE had to offer that I did not have. I have 25 of the Campbell varieties so far.
There is a lot of history in both of those lines and surely some good maters! Campbell Preserve Company started in 1869 and F & J Heinz started making ketchup in 1876. Interesting read on Heinz ...
